NRC cooperating with Coast Guard, Marine Minerals Administration
Within the past month, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has signed memorandums of understanding to increase its cooperation with two U.S. maritime organizations. In late June, the NRC signed an MOU with the U.S. Coast Guard to strengthen coordination on civilian maritime nuclear projects, including floating nuclear power plants and civilian nuclear propulsion. On July 21, the NRC signed an MOU with the newly formed Marine Minerals Administration (MMA) to improve cooperation regarding potential future nuclear projects on the Outer Continental Shelf.

It has been eight years since the last ANFM meeting. Since then, nuclear fuel management has changed significantly with the introduction of new fuel designs, advanced technology fuel (ATF), and longer cycle lengths. In the near future, we will see increased enrichments and increased burnup limits in light water reactors (LWRs). In addition, many new advanced reactor concepts are being planned that will require economical fuel cycles and the introduction of new fuel types. On top of this, machine learning and artificial intelligence applications loom on the horizon with the promise of increased efficiency. Join us in sunny Clearwater Beach as international representatives from fuel vendors, utilities, support organizations, national laboratories, and universities get together to share and discuss the latest developments in nuclear fuel management. The conference will include plenary sessions, technical sessions, panel sessions, and workshops.
